Pair of Small 1960s French Reconstituted Stone Planters by Grandon Frès

About the Item

This pair of small, reconstituted stone planters are by the famous French foundry, Grandon Frès. Based on the production marks (seen in the interiors) which state Brevete, these planters are at least from the 1960s, as Brevete was a patent mark that was phased out in 1968). The gadrooned bodies taper to a circular foot and are topped by a quarter-round rim with a subtle bevel encircling the opening. A mottled patina has developed on both planters, consisting of white, black, ochre, and green. Some moss accumulation adds character to the already charming planters that have visible traces of the pulverized rocks that constitute the reconstituted stone. Our Grandon Frès planters can be used as decorative elements inside or outdoors, or used functionally as planters, as they have pre-existing drainage holes.
